TRI Declares Old Targeting Gear Obsolete

110.9.1.17:10
by Demosthenes
Solrain Wake (TRI-FP) - In a move considered by most pilots to be long overdue, TRI Corporation last month finally eliminated production of the Bullseye and VTC I targeting devices. Completely outclassed by OPL's Duelist targeting computer, which was released in 103.3, these older targeting devices dating from the early days of space travel had been underutilized for most of a decade.
The last straw for the obsolescent equipment came about when a rare inter-factional agreement in 110.8 reduced the rank requirements for use of the Duelist to the point that raw recruits are now authorized to use it. It is not clear when residual stocks will be completely eliminated from public stations. However, the new MODx recycler presently under construction at Quantar Core could be seen by pilots as a likely means to reclaim the valuable RAM and CPUs contained in the older gear.

Cornea Weathers Storm of Sentient Led Attacks

Solrain Cornea (TRI-FP) - In recent days Solrain's Cornea, a Bravo class station and its surrounding sector have weathered multiple waves of Sentient Conflux attacks that have brought turmoil to the region. Often classed as Solrain's backwater station due to its low profit margins, the STCC have heaped praise upon the crews of the Cornea station itself and of the surrounding buildings and factories who have all responded bravely and professionally to the emergency. The STCC have also praised the swift response of pilot defence teams that rallied to the stricken sectors aid.
Each of these assaults against the Cornea sector has occurred following sporadic sightings of C0 Jellyfish throughout known space. Shortly after these sightings were reported, Conflux infestations were seen to have formed in the sectors linking trade routes to Cornea, effectively isolating the station for brief periods of time. It is believed that the anomaly within the Outer Depths sector has been the point of entry for the Sentients for each of the incursions, a deduction made from the direction of their attack, its at the time un-tuned status and the patterns of the infestations that have so far always left the Jumpgate between the two sectors clear during an strike.

Racers Haul Heavy Loads in Second Aristio Cup Race

TRI-HQ (TRI-FP) - The second race in the Artisto Cup series, The Samsung Universal 420, was held on 110.08.08 at 15:00 Ekoos Time. For this event, the racers started at Hyperial Station with an empty hold and no mission. Pilots then proceed to Main Gate where they docked at the Ore Depot to retrieve an ore delivery mission to Quantar Depot. Docking in Quantar Depot was the finish line.
There was a bit of conflict after the race when one of the contestants was irate over being jostled and bumped in the loading tube of the Main Gate Ore Depot, but a wisened-old TRI veteran was overheard telling him, "No, no, he didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you . . . he *rubbed* you. And rubbin, son, is racin'."
Race Organizer, CaptainCow said, "Moooo!" . . . which means: "This was a hotly contested race - there was much more jostling for ore in the depot than the last go round 4 years ago and it appeared to have a material effect on the outcome of the race. Another issue looming over race 2 was the Ta'hir's resolve to deny access to Quantar Depot for Military Tagged pilots from other factions. Due to war status it was felt the security risk was too high. This resulted in a record number of DNFs for pilots that never podded during an event. Therefore I'd like to remind pilots to plan ahead for the next few races and ensure they are Civilian Tagged by race day or else they will not even be able to start the race. With the next event in Solrain space, hopefully we will see more than a token turn out for the home faction that we've seen the last couple races!"

New Explosion at Beleaguered Duelist CP

Quantar Core (TRI-FP) - Two days ago and for the second time in nearly as many weeks, the Duelist Custom Producer in Omni IV was rocked by internal explosions. None of the maintenance staff present at the facility were injured during the crippling incident but hundreds of droids and servos were either damaged or destroyed, temporarily disabling the facility.
Constructed by a Quantar faction mission in 103.12.24, this nearly seven-year-old structure has been attacked and damaged often by Sentient Conflux during its lifetime. Despite reports of a Sentient Conflux presence in Octavian space during the hours prior to the attack, no Conflux attack on the CP has been officially suspected in either of the recent incidents.

Quantar Core (TRI-FP) - OPL management today reiterated their position that the explosion several days ago aboard the Duelist CP in Omni IV sector was the result of mechanical failure. Logs and automated records were presented for review by Quantar authorities, puporting to remove any suspicion of external attack on the facility.
The Duelist CP is once again in normal operation. External repairs were conducted immediately after the incident with the assistance of several on-duty pilots, including Baius, RedDwarf, and CaptainCow, while Solrain pilot usalman conducted combat patrol against Conflux forces in the sector.

TRI-HQ (TRI-FP) - The latest Aristio Cup races kicked off on 110.7.25 with the first in what will be a series of at least five parts, with the initial race being the "Amananth 444" - a three-lap course through The Gyre, Aman Hook, Last Parsec, Sea of Shadows and The Split - starting and finishing in Aman Station. Nine pilots participated in the Heavy-Miner-Class event, and eight in the Transport-Class event. This was a straight-out "speed" race where the winner was the first to finish the course and dock, but an additional 20 race point could be earned by going through the Last Parsec beacon.
"We are so pleased that CaptainCow has decided to run another Aristio Cup series!" said Echo Tetsab, Director of TRI-RMD. "And we also want to thank the Series Sponsor, Aristio Conglomerated. Hopefully we'll see more and more actual race participants as the series progresses."

Pilots Report on New Conflux Spawn Patterns

110.7.26.11:14
by Thane Carios
Solrain Core (TRI-FP) - Pilots have begun reporting changes in Conflux spawn patterns over the last few days. Of note is that fact while many spawn changes have been minor, in a few sectors, such as The Azure Churn, the changes have been dramatic.
"I have personally investigated, encountered and repeatedly destroyed Conflux up to C12 Phoc's in Azure churn, an adaptation of the flux no doubt measured to hinder the short trade route between Wake and Cornea," said Conflux-killing expert vorlon31.
In a report to OPL CEO and former Octavian Legate, Triarius, pilot Moody said, "After a look at the map I'm afraid to say that they are moving closer to our Home World."

TRI-HQ (TRI-FP) - TRI pilots reported for duty in droves around 17:00 Ekoos Time on 110.7.16 in response to "Regan's Challenge" - an attempt by pilot Regan to turn around the recent epidemic of pilot apathy and to help ensure TRI space remains safe and vital. Flight deck personnel and servos at all stations were frantically busy, taking ship after ship out of mothballs and prepping them for launch into space - many for the first time in years.

Amananth Reacts to Conflux Storm

by Demosthenes
Solrain Core (TRI-FP) - Sources within the STCC and the Octavian Ministry of War have confirmed reception of a new communique from Amananth, presumably by the governments of all three factions. "Amananth's statement was much more somber than usual," described Dr Calatorius, "I refuse to quote it directly here, but I implore my counterparts in Solrain and Quantar to recall my prior offer of a council. We must collaborate to address the Conflux threat."
A source close to the STCC, who refused to be named, hinted that the recent show of force in Hyperial space by the Conflux, with a series of gate infestations and a severe and long-lasting particle storm, may represent the shape of things to come. "This would be highly disruptive to trade," our contact stated.

Octavius Core Station - In response to repeated questions from reporters, Dr. Calatorius elaborated on his earlier announcement about the crash of the CLAWS array and the mysterious deep-space carier wave that appeared to deliver a quantum virus, saying "the CLAWS array is an early warning system...but it also served other more minor, space science functions to include the study of the nature of our space since the Great Collapse. These functions were used by the various science academies. I have been informed that recently there were several odd readings that were picked up by the array."

CLAWS System Taken Down by Deep Space Virus

108.10.18
from the Darkspace Newswire
Octavius Core Station - Over the past weekend, TRI released news that the CLAWS array had gone down. Conflux Studies expert, Dr. Calatorius commented: "Based upon my preliminary analysis, it would seem the system has been taken offline by a quantum computer virus that has not only brought down the array, but also locked the system down."
"We are investigating where the virus may have originated -- we detected a carrier wave remnant coming from deep space. What is odd about this carrier wave is that it appears to not originate from any of our known sectors, nor does it originate from conflux space, which is most disconcerting.
Pilot reactions ran from confusion to concern to elation that a big fight may be afoot.
